Hostas, also known as Plantain Lily, are hardy garden perennials (they come back every year).  Our plants are professionally grown and are guaranteed free from disease, including 'Hosta Virus X'.  If you want the best you have come to the right place! Our plants have been over-wintered here in the upper Midwest to ensure strength and hardiness and to encourage blooming the first year in your garden. Our plants are grown outdoors where Mother Nature helps us produce the best plants possible. Our potted plants can be planted at your convenience, just keep them outdoors and watered until you are ready to put them into the ground. We include complete planting instructions with all orders. This plant is ready for your garden!
